    Why I have still Adobe Flash installed on 20H2???


    Weird. I heard it should automatically uninstall since yesterday: Microsoft takes steps to scrub Flash from Windows | Computerworld

    Why I have this garbage still on my computer?!

    Thanks!

    EDIT: oh okay, I should be able to uninstall that manually now. Glad they finally got rid of it. Hate it was pre-installed... Maybe I wait a day, or so. There is picture yet from Windows XP under uninstaller omegalul...

    That only applies to Flash that comes with Win 10. If you installed via any other means, that will not be removed.

    Yes that's what I was talking about, it is still in control panel. Should I use adobe flash's uninstallator?

    EDIT:
    You have to download manually (KB4577586) for your version of Windows.

    I am so glad, this garbage is removed. It made insane input lag. I immediately knew, after restart. That it was uninstalled. You could remove it previously manually, but it was a security risk.
